The effects of season and sex on the fatty acids (FAs) and proximate compositions of the mantle of the mature common cuttlefish were evaluated. The results of the proximate composition showed that the lowest lipid content was obtained from females in winter (0.74%), whereas the highest level of lipid was found in males in autumn (0.94%; p < 0.05). The protein levels of the mantle of the mature male of common cuttlefish were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those found in female specimens. The FA compositions of each sex for all seasons ranged from 29.4% to 32.5% saturated FAs, 8.7-11.1% monounsaturated FAs and 48.2-54.6% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The proportions of n-3 PUFAs (44.0-50.6%) were higher than n-6 PUFAs (3.4-4.3%) regardless of sex and seasons. The levels of eicosapentaenoic acid in the mature common cuttlefish mantle in spring, autumn and winter were 15.9-17.8%, 16.3-17.2% and 15.7-16.8% while those of docosahexaenoic acid were 32.5-33.0%, 27.5-29.0% and 28.7-31.1%, respectively.
研究了季节和性别对成熟普通乌贼外套膜脂肪酸(FAs)和近似成分的影响。 近似成分的结果表明,冬季雌性的脂质含量最低(0.74%),而秋季雄性的脂质含量最高(0.94%;p<0.05)。 成熟雄性普通乌贼外套膜的蛋白质水平明显高于雌性(p<0.05)。 每个季节雌雄两性的 FA 组成范围从 29.4%至 32.5%饱和 FA,8.7-11.1%单不饱和 FA 和 48.2-54.6%多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFAs)。 无论性别和季节如何,n-3 PUFAs(44.0-50.6%)的比例均高于 n-6 PUFAs(3.4-4.3%)。 春季,秋季和冬季成熟普通乌贼外套膜中二十碳五烯酸的水平分别为15.9-17.8%,16.3-17.2%和15.7-16.8%,而二十二碳六烯酸的水平分别为32.5-33.0%,27.5-29.0%和28.7-31.1%。
